Ruby Course

Hello Everybody,

here at my university we want to give some summer courses organized by
students for the students. As we already have a Python course, I thought
giving also a Ruby introductory course would be a good Idea for making
Ruby more widely known. The course will be a three days block seminar.

My question is, if somebody already has material for a ruby course that
he/she wants to share? The audience is second to fifth year diploma
students of IT.

regards,

Brian Schröder

I thought about my post and decided that the subject line did not say
anything about the content. So heres the post 1.1:

I want to give a three days ruby-course at my university and wonder if
anybody has got some material to share?

Thanks a lot,

Brian

PS: That was shorter and more precise I hope :wink:

The only English ruby slides we have:

I can email you the open-office source.

irb rocks. Use irb extensively.

Try to get the audience into coding sth. and explain features
while you fix their programs.

Good luck,

your couse description feels like "A survey of Ruby". How about using
the Pickaxe as a template? Such an approach has been quite successful
in pretty much all survey courses I've taken.

I introduced an OO pseudolanguage in lecture 8 in my SW Eng course last year to show an example of a design pattern in practice. In the last slide I revealed that it wasn't pseudocode but real (Ruby) code. I then executed the code "live", made some changes and added an observer etc. It worked out quite well and maybe the slides may be of some use:

the source code and some more info is available on the page

http://datavet.htu.se/kurser/PVD010/lecture_slides.html

it was lecture number 8 a bit down on the page.

For a later verification and validation course I introduced Ruby in the first week and used it throughout the course. I started a "book" called "Ruby by Example" but it didn't pan out very well so it was never continued. Anyway it might be of some interest:
